"Skycoaster"

1. The most dareing, exciting, out of this world, fun ride, I can't hardly believe I rode is the "Skycoaster" or "bunjy jump" at Kennywood. The "Skycoaster" was the "best" ride I ever rode in the world.

2. As I was sitting on the scolding blue bench all could hear was my heart thumping, every second thump...thump...thump. Then I would anxiously look over to see the "pale white" faces of my friends. You could smell the aroma of the yummy deep-fried oreos, but then they made you terribly sick knowing that within those "long" 15 minutes you would be falling and the cool breze in your "expressionless" face, just "falling". Then I hear in a long distance our names being called to soon face a long time want that will finally be acheived.

3. Then I walk "pacing" my way to under the enormous oning. The thin small instructor then gives critical instructions.After the instuctor was done my excited friends and I would be tightly straped into what felt as if you were in a "human dipar". Next we walked up the black steel steps to get to our destination. Yes! I was finally there standing, watching, waiting and mostly wondering... What will it feel like to be pretty much flying!

4. Now the workers in red Kennywood T-shirts carefully hooked us to the cord. Then BOOM! Before I know it I am in the warm humid summer air, face down looking at the ridgid concrete ground. As we held hands in fear we rose higher...higher...higher as if you were "never" going to stop. I could see all the minature people looking at us three worried friends. You could just simply tell exactly what the unknown strangers were thinking. They are CRAZY! Oh, my gosh! Look how high they are! They are so young! Then after an elapsed time period we were there the TOP! I felt so happy no fear any more just as if I could do "anything". Next my hands still clenched to my friends were squeezed tighter than ever. As my friend pulled the string we were counting 1...2...3... AHHHHHHHHHHH! Sceaming then my jittery hands let loose. I was a little bird flying, soaring, laughing. All three of us were totally breathless as we just swung... and swung. A bigger man held out a prickly rounded-loop rope to grab. As we attemped to grab the rope about "seven" times if more, We finally pulled it and we were above the ground once again hanging face down. Then "plop"! on my stomach I went.

5. Finally i stood up with a bright smile walked down the steel steps with my friends by my side. We had conqured a long time will that will "never be forgotten". A life time memorey that was truely out of this WORLD!
